Potato Curry (or alu sabji)

It might sound like very common and plain and simple curry, but has a little twist in it!! So why do I say that?? Because it has a mixed flavor of East, West, and South of India (Haha).

For this, of course, the main ingredient required is potatoes. Apart from that you also need:

coconut paste (paste of dry coconut, some garlic, and some coriander leaves), some curry leaves, chilies, onion, ginger-garlic paste, mustard seeds, and salt and sugar and turmeric.

So now take a pan, put some mustard oil and let it warm (you can use any oil of your choice). Put the mustard seeds, curry leaves, and the ginger garlic paste and fry them. After that add the chopped onions and fry till it becomes brownish in colour. In the meanwhile also add turmeric, salt and sugar, and chilies according to your taste (you can skip adding sugar too!!); Now add the chopped potatoes, mix well and add some water so as to cook the potatoes. Close the lid of the kadai and keep the gas in low flame and let the potatoes cook for like 15 minutes. Then open the lid and add the coconut paste, mix well, sprinkle again some water and let it cook for some 5 minutes. And yes you are done!!

It's a little different from the regular potato curry and yet a quick, tasty easy and less ingredient recipe!

Enjoy!

Khadi herbal Hair conditioner review

So here I am today to review two varieties of KHADI Herbal Hair Conditioner, one is Khadi Shikakai and Honey Hair conditioner and the other is Khadi Green Tea and Aloevera Hair conditioner. The first thing I want to share is I am absolutely in love with these hair conditioners. I am the one who has dry and rough hair, and for me, I felt these conditioners are just perfect! So why I'm in love with these? I have tried like so many conditioners on my hair, some of it turned out to leave my hair too sticky, some didn't do its job at all and left my hair brittle and rough, and to be very honest, I was tired to figure out which one will suit me the best. Then suddenly I came across these Khadi conditioners. The first time I used them only I felt the difference, it nourished my hair, made it soft and smooth, like the way a conditioner should exactly be. Moreover, it is not at all costly. I believe for all the variety of conditioner that Khadi has, its priced at or...

Bengali Association Durga puja in Aurangabad, Maharashtra

Durga Puja is one of the biggest festival celebrated by the Bengalies. I am a Bengali by birth and I have recently shifted to Aurangabad, Maharashtra (you can check out the places that I have explored here in Aurangabad in my previous blog:  https://pcfoodfacelife.blogspot.com/2018/08/blog-post.html ). So this 2018 Durga puja I had spent in Aurangabad, and that's when I discovered that there is a Bengali Association in Aurangabad (there might be more, but I am talking about the one I am aware of right now). As I came to know, this Bengali Association celebrates all the Bengali festivals in the authentic Bengali way, and so was the Durga Puja. The Durga Puja of this particular Bengali association is hosted in the "Sagar Lawns and Function Hall" which is near the Prozone Mall in the Chilkalthana Area ( https://www.google.co.in/maps/contrib/104235049707915129776/place/ChIJE7FM7_Gi2zsRYC0D6NRB0Ag/@19.5396149,74.1340508,9z/data=!4m6!1m5!8m4!1e1!2s104235049707915129776!...
